-Build instructions
-===================
-
-Debian
--------
-
-First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your
-distribution are installed, for Debian and Ubuntu these are:
-
-::
-
- apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
- libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
- libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev
-
-then execute the following:
-
-::
-
- qmake
- make
-
-Alternatively, install Qt Creator and open the `bitcoin-qt.pro` file.
-
-An executable named `bitcoin-qt` will be built.
-
-
-Windows
---------
-
-Windows build instructions:
-
-- Download the `QT Windows SDK`_ and install it. You don't need the Symbian stuff, just the desktop Qt.
-
-- Download and extract the `dependencies archive`_ [#]_, or compile openssl, boost and dbcxx yourself.
-
-- Copy the contents of the folder "deps" to "X:\\QtSDK\\mingw", replace X:\\ with the location where you installed the Qt SDK. Make sure that the contents of "deps\\include" end up in the current "include" directory.
-
-- Open the .pro file in QT creator and build as normal (ctrl-B)
-
-.. _`QT Windows SDK`: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp
-.. _`dependencies archive`: https://download.visucore.com/bitcoin/qtgui_deps_1.zip
-.. [#] PGP signature: https://download.visucore.com/bitcoin/qtgui_deps_1.zip.sig (signed with RSA key ID `610945D0`_)
-.. _`610945D0`: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x610945D0
-
-
-Mac OS X
---------
-
-- Download and install the `Qt Mac OS X SDK`_. It is recommended to also install Apple's Xcode with UNIX tools.
-
-- Download and install `MacPorts`_.
-
-- Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies:
-
-::
-
- sudo port selfupdate
- sudo port install boost db48
-
-- Open the .pro file in Qt Creator and build as normal (cmd-B)

-Build configuration options
-============================
-
-UPNnP port forwarding
----------------------
-
-To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable bitcoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake:
-
-::
-
- qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
-
-(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**)
-
-This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from
-http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/. UPnP support is not compiled in by default.
-
-Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
-
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=- | no UPnP support, miniupnpc not required; |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=0 | (the default) built with UPnP, support turned off by default at runtime; |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=1 | build with UPnP support turned on by default at runtime. |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-Mac OS X users: miniupnpc is currently outdated on MacPorts. An updated Portfile is provided in contrib/miniupnpc within this project.
-You can execute the following commands in a terminal to install it:
-
-::
-
- cd <location of bitcoin-qt>/contrib/miniupnpc
- sudo port install
-
-Notification support for recent (k)ubuntu versions
----------------------------------------------------
-
-To see desktop notifications on (k)ubuntu versions starting from 10.04, enable usage of the
-FreeDesktop notification interface through DBUS using the following qmake option:
-
-::
-
- qmake "USE_DBUS=1"
-
-Berkely DB version warning
-==========================
-
-A warning for people using the *static binary* version of Bitcoin on a Linux/UNIX-ish system (tl;dr: **Berkely DB databases are not forward compatible**).
-
-The static binary version of Bitcoin is linked against libdb4.7 or libdb4.8 (see also `this Debian issue`_).
-
-Now the nasty thing is that databases from 5.X are not compatible with 4.X.
-
-If the globally installed development package of Berkely DB installed on your system is 5.X, any source you
-build yourself will be linked against that. The first time you run with a 5.X version the database will be upgraded,
-and 4.X cannot open the new format. This means that you cannot go back to the old statically linked version without
-significant hassle!
